| Obverse description | The obverse presents a richly detailed baroque composition depicting the enthroned figure of the Holy Mother Church (Ecclesia), shown as a crowned, nimbed female figure seated on clouds in three-quarter view and radiating divine glory from behind her head. She holds the Keys of Saint Peter in her right hand, symbolizing papal authority, while her left hand rests upon her robes. At lower right, a small architectural structure — likely representing a church or temple — is visible in the field. The legend BENED XIV P M is inscribed along the left margin, with the regnal year 1745 appearing vertically along the right margin, both in Latin characters. The coin's milled border is composed of fine beading, and the overall design reflects the high baroque engraving tradition of the Rome Mint. |
